You could be forgiven for thinking a “Metacycle Design Competition” has something to do with two-wheeled vehicles, but that’s not the kind of -cycle they mean; think “recycle,” not “bicycle.”
To metacycle is to prolong the useful life of an obsolete object by transforming it to have a new function. The metacycle community was created to increase product longevity through design and rapid prototyping technologies.
metacycle.ca is launching a design competition offering a grand prize worth over $15,000 CAD. The competition asks participants to choose one of 10 selected objects and transform it into a new, functional and eco-responsible product. The winning concept will be developed by a team of professional designers and a physical model of the concept will be sent to the originator of the idea.
Deadline is June 30th, more info available here.
